Alcoa calls the period between April 21st and June 21st as GreenWorks because this timeframe includes Earth Day, National Arbor Day and World Environment Day. The Alcoa Architectural Products facility in Eastman celebrated Earth Day on April 22, 2013 by picking up the trash along the one-mile Industrial Blvd. This was the first of what will become a quarterly schedule by Alcoa employees to keep Eastman litter free by adopting Industrial Blvd. City Manager, Bea Edge, City Council members and Judy Madden, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce attended the dedication along with several Alcoa employees.

He’s still “Mr. Democrat” to his millions of adoring fans. The book The Politician by former Edwards aide Andrew Young is a great read.
